Fourth man charged over riots

A fourth man has been charged over violent incidents at North
Cronulla beach in Sydney's south last weekend.

The 21-year-old Narwee man attended Mascot Police station this
morning where he was arrested, questioned and charged with two
counts each of riot and affray.

The man, who is expected to appear in Waverley Local Court
tomorrow, is accused of being involved in two separate incidents at
the south Sydney beach where a crowd of about 5000 people gathered
and vented their anger at anyone of Middle Eastern appearance.

The first incident occurred about 1.30pm on December 11 and
involved the alleged assault of a woman and two men in Prince
Street, Cronulla.

The second incident occurred about 3pm where two males were
bashed on a train stopped at Cronulla Railway Station.

Today's arrest by Strike Force Enoggera, set up to investigate
violent acts and public disorder at Cronulla, Maroubra and
Brighton-le-Sands, follows the arrest of three other males, aged
19, 18 and 14 charged over the incident on the train.

The 18-year-old and the 19-year-old were granted bail by
Registrar Ross Lawton in Parramatta Bail court yesterday.
